D. Floyd This one is 800 feet off the north side of NC 108. It is a couple of miles east of Mill Spring, NC. There is a sign at the road where the gravel driveway turns off to go to the church. I was there December 11, 1998. I started the survey in the southwest corner of the cemetery. There are between 50- 100 graves marked with fieldstones or destroyed markers or unmarked.
